"Cowboy" Bob Purtell - The Gear Jammer's Ball (Australian Country Music) (Original 45)

Here's something you don't hear everyday... ...and, truth be told, you probably wouldn't want to! It's ol' Cowboy Bob going off on a tangent with a Dixieland/Country/Truckin' song. It's probably not so unusual, though, because the flipside of one of Bob's other 45's was a version of Basin Street Blues...so, inside the cowboy, perhaps there was a jazz man trying to get out? This track was released in Australia in 1977 as the flipside of an ATA 45, K-7008. The A. side was "The Beer Song", which I've also uploaded to YouTube. This track was co-written by Bob and his mate Laurie Allen...Laurie had produced Bob's first LP. "Cowboy" Bob was inducted into Tamworth's Country Hands Of Fame" in 1988. This upload is from the original 45. *** If you like my channel, why not SUBSCRIBE?
